| dc.description.abstract | To evaluate the effect of vitamin-mineral premix supplementation on physio-biochemicalparameters of 20 broiler birds of twenty days old were reared. The chicks were randomlydivided into four groups assigned as A, B, C and D. Group A was considered as control andother groups (B, C and D) were treated with vitamin-mineral premix at a dose rate of 1%, 2%and 4%, respectively from first day of experiment. Physio-biochemical parameters include-body growth, physical appearances, total serum protein, albumin, globulin, lymphocytepercentage, heterophils, TEC, Hb content, PCV, ESR, MCV, MCH and MCHC.The treatedgroups showed higher growth ratebut highest in group D (2007 ± 4.88) and the physicalappearances were better with relation the increase dose rate. Total serum protein, albuminand globulin values were gradually increased and highest in group D and the values were(15.20 ± 0.17, 8.98 ± 0.08 and 6.22 ± 0.10), respectively. The percentage of lymphocyte werealso increased at a dose dependent manner and highest in group D (68.80 ± 0.48) but theheterophils (%) were gradually decreased and lowest in group D (25.20 ± 0.28).The vitaminmineral premix supplementation might have beneficial effects for broiler farming | en_US |
